Vacancy: Research Associate, Cloud Dataset Development and Analysis
The Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites (CICS) at the
University of Maryland seeks to fill a professional scientific position
for its collaborative research as a Cooperative Institute with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This position
will be associated with the Air Resources Laboratory in NOAA Research.
The position will be located at the NOAA Climate & Weather Prediction
Center in College Park, Maryland. The position is funded for one year
only.
Background
This ongoing project involves the development and validation of a
homogeneity-adjusted dataset of cloud cover from weather observations
for the past ~50 years, comparison of this dataset to other sources
of cloud data and other relevant climate variables, and assessment of
variability, trends, and uncertainties in cloud data, with emphasis
on data from the U.S. The goal of the project is to improve our
understanding of past changes in cloud cover on multi-decadal scales.
Responsibilities
The individual will contribute to the goals of the project, including:
1. Data processing and analysis of ground-based cloud data, satellite
cloud data, and/or related climate variables, and/or analysis of
climate model data for comparison to the cloud data, in order to
clarify long-term variability and trends in cloud cover.
2. Extension of existing station data to create a more spatially
complete dataset.
3. Publication of results in peer-reviewed literature and presentation
at scientific conferences.
Qualifications
Requirements for this position include a M.S. (PhD preferred) in a
field related to climate studies, proficiency with a programming
language (FORTRAN is preferred), and with scientific graphics software,
and demonstrated ability to work independently and analyze scientific
data with minimal supervision. Knowledge of and experience with issues
relating to extracting long-term climate signals from weather
observations or satellite records will be considered a plus.
Familiarity with methods to extend sparse data to create a spatially
and temporally more complete dataset is also a plus. The candidate
must be able to work well with others and to communicate effectively
both orally and in writing.
To Apply: Interested candidates should send a CV with a list of at
least 3 professional references and a cover letter explaining how
your qualifications meet the posted requirements to anegri@essic.umd.edu
<mailto:anegri@essic.umd.edu>.

The Department of Meteorology at the Pennsylvania State University is seeking to fill a post doctoral researcher position to work on transport uncertainties in atmospheric CO2 flux inversions. The PennState regional inversion system has been developed in the Mid-Continent Intensive project, part of the North American Carbon Program, to quantify Greenhouse Gas (GHG) fluxes at the regional scale. More recently, the system has been used for continental scale inversions over North America and high resolution urban emission quantification.
The successful applicant will work with the PennState regional inversion system coupled to the NASA Carbon Monitoring System CMS-Flux to study and quantify the impact of atmospheric transport errors in inverse flux estimates at continental and global scales. The NASA CMS-Flux system was created to conduct atmospheric inversions utilizing satellite column CO2 (XCO2) observations from current and future satellite missions (GOSAT and OCO-2). The candidate will use the mesoscale atmospheric model WRF coupled to a Lagrangian Dispersion modeling framework to simulate the atmospheric transport of CO2 and develop innovative approaches to quantify transport errors in the inverse solution.
The candidate will join a group led by Prof. Kenneth Davis and engaged in projects to quantify GHG fluxes at continental, regional, and urban scales. The candidate will work in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, co-developers of the NASA CMS-Flux system. The initial appointment is for one year with opportunity for renewal for an additional two years contingent on funding and performance.
Interested applicants should submit a CV, a cover letter describing your research interests, and names of three references to Dr. Thomas Lauvaux (tul5@psu.edu) or Prof. Kenneth Davis (davis@meteo.psu.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Employment will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with Penn State policy HR-99. Penn State is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce.

Due to continued expansion we are looking to employ graduates or junior forecasters to work from our Aberdeen office.
Suitable candidates will be trained to provide marine and aviation forecasts for the renewable energy, shipping, oil and gas industries. Working on a shift basis you would become part of our Aberdeen based UK team of meteorologists and work closely with the global StormGeo forecast centres.
Full details regarding these positions can be found in the attached file.
